FEEDBACK
"Suzanne did an awesome job editing my dissertation. She was thorough with the document, charts, and references. When I had a question, she was quick to respond and clarified any misconceptions I had. She was always very encouraging and re-assuring that she would get me through the final format. I highly recommend Suzanne." - Donna Wilkes
“I would highly recommend Suzanne to any student or professional seeking editing services. She was very easy to contact; provided multiple references. Her work was accurate; timely ( less than 24 hours in my case to edit a 15 page paper); thorough; professional and very budget friendly. I am very pleased and would definitely use her services again.” - Amber Glaser
“My PhD Dissertation was recently approved at NCU, and Suzanne Manness was the best editor I was able to find to help me; and at a reasonable price - and I looked long and hard over 2 years. She understands NCU APA 6 requirements fully, she was able to correct my tense as required for each chapter, to make sure my arguments flowed succinctly, and she helped me make sure all my references were listed correctly. She was able to explain to me the differences between APA 5 and 6, and she was knowledgeable enough to be able to help me defend those edits with the university reviewers. I am very grateful to her for her knowledge, her support during the difficult review process, and her willingness to help and be available at all times of the day or night. “ - Deon Glajchen
“I just reviewed the work you sent back to [two University of Phoenix]. I am very impressed. :^) May I continue to give your name out to some of my other folks? The work they send to you will definitely comply with the ARB checklist for the content portions. So many do need help though, with writing style and composition.” UoP professor (On file with network coordinator.)
“ ‘WOW!’ from my mentor. ‘Lovely formatting.’ Way to go, Suzanne!!!” (On file with network coordinator)
“Thank you so very much for all of your hard work, your patience, and your intellect. I submitted the dissertation to the office on Monday. I finally made it! Got all the approvals! You are wonderful and kind. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you...” Gary (On file with network coordinator.)
"Just wanted to send you a note to thank you for your superb editing efforts -- the Dean approved my dissertation the first time through! My mentor said that it's rare to have a dissertation approved on the first submission as they always seem to find something to complain about -- I think the reason mine was approved the first time is due in no small part to your knowledge and skills in the UOP APA dissertation process :-) Thank you so much for your efforts on my behalf - I truly appreciate it and I couldn't have done it without your help!"

"Suzanne Manness was an absolute gem! After having a terrible experience with another editing company, Dissertation Professors; who had left my Thesis paper in a shambles by deleting important information, and not properly editing the grammar, punctuation and formatting, Suzanne came in on an extremely tight deadline and got my paper to where it needed to be for submission. Suzanne is a professional, and very pleasant to work with. She is readily available and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. If not for Suzanne I would not have been able to complete my Thesis with the same level of professionalism and I am eternally grateful for her time and expertise." Contact information on request
"Hello Suzanne-
I had printed a copy of an earlier draft and had circled everything that needed correcting. Today, I compared your revision to mine and WOW!!! You truly are a great editor, not only did you make each correction I had noted, but many more. You are the best! The revision is incredible and at Doctorial level. Thank you, thank you, thank you &I just wish I had found you two years ago (and a couple of thousands of dollars ago). Thank you again for your humility, your honesty, and your complete and professional expertise! What an honor to work with someone of your caliber.
Thank you,
Tammy Sagastizado
"Suzanne Manness was exceptional. I used another editing service for my proposal and I wish I had used her services instead. She is such a great editor. The services were affordable and fast. I was approved the first time with my dissertation, and I truly believe that her editing along with a great committee were the key to my success. Not only is she kind, she is personable. Suzanne took great care in ensuring that my dissertation met UOP's rigorous standards. I would recommend her services to anyone in need of a great editor!" Kimberly Pierre, doctoral student, University of Phoenix
"To: The Network Coordinator
Re: A special note of thanks
A true professional goes above and beyond what is asked of them to ensure that a job gets done correctly. I will be forever grateful that this network has such a person affiliated with their network of editors. Dr. Manness is a gem. The time and patience that she offered to me during a period of great stress is to be commended. Without her assistance I would not be receiving the MPPA (Healthcare) degree that I will be awarded in December 2009. She is a true gem and this network is blessed to have an affiliation with her. I would definitely recommend her editing services to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional editor."
Mrs. S.L. Washington
"Like most committee chairs, mine is never satisfied with anything I submit (although I have to admit she is usually correct), and so I was ready for the typical barrage of virtual red ink in my latest submission...and I quote: 'Steve, I am very pleased with this work and have no corrections. You are working very well with your new editor. Please get feedback (if any) from your committee members. Dr. Lois.' Very simply and very sincerely...thank you!" -- Steven Seney
"Suzanne, You did an excellent job editing my dissertation. Your experience and thoroughness were obvious from the beginning. Your knowledge of APA
5th edition, Nova Southeastern University dissertation guidelines, and your commitment to quick turnaround are just a few of your many talents. I have highly recommended your editing services to my colleagues.
PS -- [RG] just emailed me. My dissertation has been accepted!"
Donna Gottardi, Nova Southeastern University
"You are so wonderfully awesome...words can not describe how thankful I
am that you edited my concept paper. It got approved!!!! It would
not have happened without your expert editing! Thank you so much for all of your help!!!!!"
Steph, Nova Southeastern University
"Just a note to let you know that my dissertation was approved today, so again thank you for your help and I will definitely tell my friends about your excellent services. You are a true professional." Miriam Golbert, Nova Southeastern University
“Being a full-time teacher and student, my life is extremely stressful. Perfecting work for my Ph.D. program is time-consuming and quite intensive. Suzanne Manness helped to alleviate much of my stress and allowed me to finally get some much needed rest! She was very patient and helpful during the review process of my paper. Her review of my paper was first-rate and her response time was quick. She was also prompt in all emails sent to her concerning any questions that I had. My dissertation proposal is on its way for the IRB approval. I must thank Suzanne for her hard work, dedication and expertise with APA writing. I would strongly recommend Suzanne for review of AP writing!!” Dawn Adams, internship coordinator, Wheeler High School
"THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! You are fabulous and worth every penny!!" Shari Bemis
"If you are reading this you most likely working on a scholarly paper of some kind and you are considering hiring a writing mentor to help you with your writing style, structure, and research. Allow me to save you some time with my recommendation that you hire Suzanne Manness as your doctoral editor and coach. Allow her to read over your work and invite her to comment on how she can help you. You will not be disappointed. She always responded to my requests for help on time and on target. She will work with you as long as you need her; she requires no long term contracts. She is honest and fair with her pricing. I will be forever grateful to Suzanne for being there for me during the tough and lonely work that is the PhD dissertation process." M. Greenwood, PhD
"Suzanne Manness rescued my dissertation from an incompetent editing company that added as many mistakes as they corrected. The company had placed page numbers in three different locations, used different section headings and used an inconsistent format for table headings. To make maters worse, I had only two week to submit my dissertation or five years of research would have been voided when my program ended. Suzanne worked with my phone and email to complete the job. She was pleasant to work with as well as competent. The proof of her abilities was shown when my committee accepted my draft without any suggested changes." Gary Kush, PhD
"Suzanne was excellent at helping me organize my dissertation chapters so they made a clear and concise argument. She has excellent writing and organizational skills and can conceptualize arguments extremely well. One of her strongest attributes is her knowledge and experience with International dissertations (U.K). She knows how to get the job done and has excellent turn around time!" -- Deborah M. Moscarelli, Assistant Professor, Central Michigan University, Department of Marketing & HSA
"Suzanne Manness played an instrumental role in the completion of my dissertation. Her recommendations, especially in editing and proper formatting of the final draft, were tremendously helpful in giving me direction and, above all, peace of mind. I was impressed by her level of professionalism, accessibility, and responsiveness. I believe that Ms. Manness' promptness and turnaround time are seldom found in the field of editing. Her promptness is coupled with an impressive knowledge of the English language. Furthermore, the years of experience in her field has given Ms. Manness a fundamental knowledge-base in a wide area of disciplines, from the hard sciences to the humanities. The completion of a dissertation is a difficult, not to say grueling experience. For me, Ms. Manness has been the light at the end of the tunnel. I recommend her unequivocally and without reservations." Viken Yacoubian, Ph.D.
"Suzanne Manness was an excellent editor. Suzanne was incredibly reasonable in her pricing. The turn around with the papers was quick, and she caught my grammar mistakes. Suzanne answered all my questions that I e-mailed to her about my papers. She usually responded within minutes and I have to admit I asked a lot of questions. Suzanne responded to all of them and offered explanations. Plus she is a pro with APA format. I would definitely recommend Suzanne as an editor." Elina (contact info on request)

"Thanks very much for the good work you have done on the manuscript. I am also very grateful that you are very honest as a person and working with you has been very smooth. I have received the last chapters. I look forward to working with you in future. After this I will be publishing another book "Quantitative analysis and techniques". At that time I will need your assistance. I would like to let you know that my publishers are impressed with your work. I am forwarding a copy of the email they wrote me sometime. Please when you need reference you can use the work you have done for me as one of the satisfied customers." Macleans Mzumara, Economist

"I found Suzanne while I was in a total panic. My regular editor was booked solid, my committee had given me 1 week to make a laundry list of edits to Chapters 1-3, and the Thanksgiving holidays were approaching. Suzanne did a fantastic job under significant time crunch. Suzanne’s dedication to her customers was evident especially near the end when I needed a PDF file for publishing—Suzanne worked into the early morning hours of a Saturday morning to be sure that I met my deadline. Her level of dedication and support was outstanding! I would highly recommend her to any graduate student on the verge of a document format breakdown."—Annise Mabry, Ph.D. Capella University
